It is my turn to post over at the Digi Doodle Studios Inspirational Blog and this week I have made another New Year Card but this time using this fabulous image called Chanel. She is another of the gorgeous digi stamps that were part of the Masquerade Ball release recently.

I coloured the image with Copics and added Diamond Sparkles Pink Glitter to the crown.

The Card Blank is a 7" Square and the patterned papers are from Trimcraft. I cut and layered the star using an unamed die. The sentiment I typed before printing the image and I finished by adding Pink Pearl Gems

This challenge will run for 4 weeks and the theme is Anything Goes Christmas.

I hope that you can come and play along with us throughout December.

For my DT card I made my Youngest Son's Christmas Card.

I have used this mega cute Digi called Santa Stop Here Jingles Jingles can be found in all sorts of poses. Visit the Store HERE to Jingles in all his different designs.

I coloured Jingles using ProMarkers and added Diamond Sparkles Glitter to his hat. I cut the shape of this card using a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circle Die and used Go Kreate dies for the non scalloped circle layers. The patterned paper is from LOTV. The sentiments are hand stamped and are from Stampingallday. The stocking, bow and sleigh die cuts are all cut using Tattered Lace Dies from last years advent calendar.

The theme for the next two weeks is Christmas is Coming. I hope that you can come and play along with us.

We are being sponsored by Rick St Dennis for this challenge and I chose to work with this image called North Pole Sign which I have coloured using Copics

The Card Blank is a 7" Square and the red patterned paper is from Scrap and Craft. I have layered this in between two layers of Gold Mirror Card. It is a CAS design but my eldest Son likes this style so I went with it for him.

This week we have had a new release in the theme of Masquerade Ball. They are truly fabulous digi's once again and you can find them in the STORE

I got to showcase this gorgeous girl called Nadia which I have coloured up using Copics and a Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen.

I cut the shape using a Go Kreate Frilly Frame Die and I finally tried distressing as you can see around the sentiment lol. I added a Lace Border, feathers and a Blue Satin Bow. I cut some Heart Balloons from a die I have and also cut a banner using a Joy Craft Die. I finished by adding clear flower gems and Blue Pearl Gems.

I made this card to send to a fellow crafter. The Card Blank is a 7" Square and the spotty paper is from Scrap and Craft and the Stripey paper is from Trimcraft. I used a Gold Gliiter Card as my Base Layer. The Sentiment I hand typed on the laptop before printing the image. I added two red/gold satin bows and finished with Red Pearl Gems.

I used a Go Kreate Circle Die and a Spellbinders Scalloped Circle Die to create the hanger. I fussy cut the image and glued this on. The Snowflakes are a Tattered Lace Die and I cut glittery snowflakes using this. I added twine to hang it up, Hand Tied a Bow and popped on clear gems around the edge for added bling!

About Me

I am happily married with 3 young children and a Husband that is supportive of my Craft Obsession! I have been crafting since 1991. I started out learning 3d decoupage and made mainly pictures. There was no diecutting in those days so I used to cut out each layer with a craft knife. One picture took me 22 hours! I then changed over to card making but still using 3d "traditional" decoupage. I played around a bit with Rubber stamping and colouring but found that the lack of tools available back then hindered a good result or I just wasn't any good at it! A few years ago I discovered die cuts and chalk and find it relaxing to sit and chalk and make up toppers. Then I met a lovely lady and now fab friend who purchased one of my toppers. She is into stamping and colouring and she introduced me to Promarkers and the wonderful world of Digi Stamps and encouraged me to have another go at colouring. I have never looked back. I love colouring both digi and rubber stamps and experimenting with colours.
